Jeffrey Jack Givens is a Certified Nonprofit Professional (CNP), graduate of The University of San Diego (USD) Business School, attendee of USD Master of Supply Chain Management Program and disabled U.S. Navy Veteran. He served overseas in the Seventh Fleet Navy Band (Asia) and in the Southwest United States (San Diego, CA); the best job in the Navy!
The music programs under public affairs, are also the only jobs that require the service members to know the skills and be tested with an audition prior to enlisting. This is special and elite. Jeffrey recently received the National Medal of Arts awarded by the President at the White House, November 21, 2019. A prestigious American honor. It is the highest honor given to artists by the United States Government.
Personally, he enjoys an active lifestyle and seeks tough challenges. He has completed the San Diego 100 mile run, 5 mile ocean swim (Tour de Buoys) and 5000 km Appalachian Trail Trek to mention a few challenges. He did this with a broken body and hopes to do more. His training and experiences have lead him to achieve extraordinary results even with a damaged, broken body.
Jeffrey is very passionate about supporting veterans that suffered like him. He wants to help veterans get to the core concern of their pain, so they can live better. He feels very strongly that he can add value in the supply chain by providing better products or alternative products that may have lasting affects and less side-effects. Strong, healthy veterans represent a strong healthy country, USA!
